I need a scarecrow

So this week I've been out in my garden a lot because the weeds were starting to take over.  This is the part that I like the very least about having a garden or flower beds or whatever.  Weeding.  I'm allergic to all that stuff plus, no matter how many times you pull the weeds, more always seem to take it's place.  Anyway, several times that I've been outside I've noticed these big black birds in the backyard and to be honest I didn't think anything of it until today.  This morning as I looked out the kitchen window about 5 of them landed in the back yard and all of the sudden it hit me... CROWS!!!!  They want my corn!  They want my grapes!!!  They want my raspberries, my blackberries!  NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!  I had a minor meltdown for a second.  I thought that if I didn't get tinsel on the berries and a scarecrow out there NOW that all my plants would be gone before I got back from work.  After about a minute of this I reminded myself that the corn isn't out yet and the berries are not ripe so they aren't going anywhere... yet.  My mission tonight is to buy tinsel and a scarecrow.  Those dang birds are not going to reap the benefits of my hard work!
